Welcome to episode 43 of The Cinefessions Podcast! Today, Branden, Ashe, and Marc continue the 8-episode arc of The Tarantinothon with a review of Inglourious Basterds (2009).

Title: The Life and Death of a Porno Gang (2009) Director: Mladen Djordjevic Runtime: 90 minutes — Sometimes marketing works on even the most hardened, cynical film fans.
